National Governments
Over 150 countries have already signed the Global Methane Pledge, which aims to cut worldwide methane emissions 30% by 2030. Now, governments are following through by pursuing bold methane action plans.
The organizations below provide support for national governments working to reduce methane emissions.
-

Technical Assistance from CCAC
The UNEP-convened Climate and Clean Air Coalition “stands ready to meet one-on-one with countries to discuss priorities and needs and help develop the most efficient methane mitigation strategies.” Jurisdictions can benefit from methane-focused “hubs” for waste, agriculture, and fossil fuels.
-

Global Methane Hub
The Global Methane Hub is the primary conduit for philanthropic methane funding worldwide. They aim to deliver $1 billion in methane funding by 2030, including through programs supporting governments at all levels.
-

IMEO
The UN-backed International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) partners with countries and companies to spot and fix large methane leaks in the oil and gas industry.
-

M-RAP
Offered by CCAC, the Methane Roadmap Action Program (M-RAP) helps countries develop and implement national methane roadmaps. All ODA-eligible Global Methane Pledge countries are invited to request funding support through this initiative.

Blueprint for a Comprehensive Oil and Gas Methane Regulation
Issued as part of the CCAC’s Fossil Fuel Regulatory Programme (FFRP), this comprehensive blueprint for methane regulation examines a regulatory approach built on proactive mitigation requirements supported by strong and transparent measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) rules.
-

Methane Regulator-to-Regulator Network
The Methane Regulator-to-Regulator (MR2R) Network is a peer-to-peer platform created by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) to help fossil fuel regulators share experience, develop best practices, and strengthen methane regulation through trusted collaboration.
-

Fossil Fuel Regulatory Programme (FFRP)
The Fossil Fuel Regulatory Programme will support up to 20 developing country governments from mid-2024 to mid-2027, with tailored support for capacity development, regulatory frameworks, and enforce compliance with existing frameworks.
-

Global Methane Pledge
The Global Methane Pledge (GMP) was launched at COP26 by the European Union and the United States who have been joined by many countries. The GMP today counts 159 participating countries and the European Commission.
-

The Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0
The Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0) is the flagship oil and gas reporting and mitigation programme of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). It is the only comprehensive, measurement-based international reporting framework for the sector.
-

A Blueprint for MRV: How Countries can Build OGMP 2.0-Aligned Reporting into MRV Methane Regulations
The UN Environment Programme’s International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) manages the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0). Through the partnership, OGMP 2.0 member companies commit to measuring and reporting methane emissions from their activities across the supply chain, forming a robust, empirical basis for understanding methane emissions and progress towards mitigation targets.
